Re: 2008 Club Rio Awards - Best Name for Hicks

Hicks is what I used over the longest amount of time since I've been on the Internet, and it's what I used when I first ran into some of the people who now post on PD, which is why they still call me that. It was always "Hicks007" or "Hicks". It's referencing Corporal Dwayne Hicks from the 1986 movie Aliens.

Fun fact, or not, Hicks was not my first ever Internet alias. The first message board I ever saw, and ever posted on, was a Spider-Man message board (this was for the comics; it was 1997). I posted there as "Green Goblin 5". Yes, there were 4 others.

Mal is what I switched to from Hicks when I was tired of being Hicks. I think I've been Mal for..... 2 years? Surely no more than that. Maybe more like 18 months. Mal is referencing the lead character of the short-lived, but long-loved (by some) TV show Firefly.
